Black Beans, Corn, and Yellow Rice

I made this last week sometime, and neglected to add it. I just used plain white rice. I didn't have a yellow rice mix. We put it in tortillas the first night and ate the warmed up left overs with chips. I also added shredded cheddar cheese to the meal.

Black Beans, Corn, and Yellow Rice

  • 1 (8 ounce) package yellow rice mix
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  1. Bring the rice, water, and olive oil to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  2. Mix together the beans, corn, lime juice, and cumin in a large bowl. Stir in the cooked rice and serve.
